I have come to learn that the modern Latin word for airplane, aeróplanum (stress indicated with acute accent mark), is completely Greek in formation, invoking the Greek root "πλαν-," as a wanderer in the air (much more poetic and appropriate than the Latin "planum" could suggest).

Thus, what would be good word for an airplane pilot, if not merely ὁ ἀεροπλάνων κυβερνήτης ? Perhaps ἀεροπλανιστής ?
